Tip:
For the start of some rounds, you may want to use a “ch3” as the
first dc, and a “ch2” as the first hdc. The “ch3” counts as
the first dc of the round, and the “ch2” counts as the first hdc
of the round. I tried to write up this pattern as simply as I
possibly could, but I find it kind of hard to write up granny square
patterns. (I tried making a chart, but apparently I need to work on
my chart-making skills.)

Make ring:
Ch6, sl st in first ch to form ring.

Round 1: Ch3
(counts as dc here and throughout), 2dc into ring, *(ch2, 5dc into
ring), repeat from * 3 times, ch2, 2dc into ring, sl st in first dc
(remember, the ch3 is the first dc).

Round 3:
Attach next color in any corner space and work *(2dc, ch2, 2dc) in
corner space, (hdc in next sc st, dc into the next dc the round below
current round), repeat from * around. Sl st in first dc.

Round 4:
Attach next color in any corner space and work *(hdc, ch2, hdc, ch1)
in corner sp, (hdc in each of next 3sts, ch1)3times. Sl st in first
hdc.

Round 5:
Attach next color in any corner space and work *(sc, ch2, sc, ch1) in
corner sp, (sc in next ch space, ch3)3times, sc in next ch space,
ch1, repeat from * around. Sl st in first sc.

Round 6:
Attach next color in any corner space and work *(dc, ch2, dc) in
corner sp, hdc in next sc, dc into the next dc 2 rounds below current
round, (hdc in next sc, dc into each of the next 3 dc 2 the round
below current round)3times, hdc in next sc, dc into the next dc the
round below current round, hdc in next sc, repeat from * around. Sl
st in first dc.

Round 7:
Attach next color in any corner space and work *(sc, ch1, sc) in
corner sp, sc in each of next 19 sc, repeat from * around. Sl st in
first sc.

Fasten off.

STRAP

Ch6, sc in 2nd
ch from hook and in each remaining ch. Ch1, turn.

*Sc in each
sc, ch1, turn.

Repeat from *
until strap reaches desired length plus about 2 inches, give or take,
for sewing to the sides of the bag.

POCKET
(OPTIONAL)

Make another
Rustic Granny Square.

ASSEMBLY

Arrange the 10
rustic granny squares into a 2x5 strip and sew them together.

Fold the 2x5
piece in half with wrong sides facing and sew up the sides.

Optional: If
you still have some leftover yarn, you can sc a round or two around
the top of the bag.

Securely sew
the strap to the sides of the bag.

Optional:
Decide what side you want as the front of the bag and sew 3 sides of
the 11th rustic granny square onto that side so that it can function
as a pocket. (Or sew the pocket on the inside of the bag, if you'd
prefer to make it an interior pocket.)
